NEW: Trump calls for an end to mail-in balloting
“We are now the only Country in the World that uses Mail-In Voting. All others gave it up because of the MASSIVE VOTER FRAUD ENCOUNTERED. “

Victor Davis Hanson: ‘The Democratic Party Has Collapsed’
“It’s a whole new counterrevolution and they’re melting down”
Hanson points to the outcome of the 2024 election, the party’s repeated mistake of being on the wrong side of major issues, and their ongoing flailing rage over everything Trump says or does.
Hanson also suggests that Trump is doing something no other Republican has ever done. Instead of just reacting to what the left does, Trump is going after their sources of power.

I think that pic is a fake.

I wonder if these guests to the WH party got a swag bag of gifts. Perhaps a little something from the Red Burn Bag collections. A lovely bound book of correspondence and evidence related to their own naughty behavior that started the war to begin with and kept it going. Perhaps a bank statement from that secret account displayed in a gold frame.

I think the party is over.

Title:

” FBI, DOJ, Caught Lying about Oklahoma City Bombing Footage, Pics of Security Cameras on Murrah Building Highlight 30 Years of Courtroom Lies “

~~~

Excerpt:

” Trentadue wrote a letter to Trump’s Attorney General Pam Bondi in March 2025 asking her to finally stop the pointless litigation ❄️opposing his requests, a letter that was ignored.❄️ “

” The Department of Justice’s Senior Media Affairs Manager Natalie Baldassarre responded to a request for comment for this story with: “no comment. ”

~~~

Opening...

” Utah Attorney Jesse Trentadue believes his brother was interrogated and tortured to death in August 1995 because federal authorities mistakenly thought he was “John Doe #2” in the Oklahoma City Bombing. For the past 30 years, Trentadue has filed 7 major federal FOIA lawsuits seeking documents and evidence, and has already obtained 2 million documents. Trentadue doggedly pursues the many lies federal authorities have told over the years about the bombing, and the illegal federal program “PATCON” that he believes was involved in his brother’s murder, and
❄️which is still ongoing today.❄️

Cumin is a dead giveaway for Mexican.

That’s a lot of new podcasts starting up.

Holy Trinity mirepoix. Onions, celery, and bell pepper. Not to be confused with a French mirepoix which has carrots in place of the bell pepper. So aromatique! It usually means gumbo in my neck of the woods.

Wall Street has been doing this since the late ‘90’s which coincides to when Glass Steagal was gutted. Private equity, hedge funds et al are thieves that have destroyed American business, spending their money on stock buybacks, golden parachutes instead of product development. There needs to be a reckoning for what these ‘vampires’ have done to America. They are as crooked as the DC swamp. Bringing manufacturing back to the US is a good start but more needs to be done to destroy, yes destroy, the current Wall Street and its thieves. It’ll take more than the CB collapsing to do it IMO.

The main problem here is what is sometimes referred to as "Financialism."

It's a side effect of the growth of distributed, ubiquitous Information Technology, which allows the suppliers of Capital (shareholders and lenders) to micromanage the business, taking control away from the operational personnel who actually know how the business operates (aside from financing activities).

A perfect example of this is all the Boeing planes crashing due to changes in the company initiated by the financialist managers who now run it.

Personally, I do not see how the clock can be turned back on this. Capital has always had the right to call the shots, but now they have been greatly empowered by the IT.

Capitalism is BY FAR the most productive system yet devised, creating far more of everything to go around; however, Capitalism has Winners and Losers. That's the essence of competition. In some cases, like processed foods and Boeing planes, one "Loser" is society as a whole in the form of receiving inferior products. The built-in cure is for competition to demonstrate greater value to Capital by providing better value to the consumers of the products.

Also, of course, there are safety nets such as Social Security to mitigate the worst of the downside effects of competition.

Cilantro and Lime (Tex-Mex) etc.

I have all those essential oils (except for peat and leeks). I'll give the combinations a try and let you know.

I'm on the road, however, so it may be a week or so.

Just an FYI, cumin is used almost as much as allspice in many Arabic dishes too.

PS There is also a very large number of Arabs of “Palestinian descent” that live throughout all of Central and South America.

[jpp113]

Is cumin made from ground up sweaty BO pit hair? Sure smells like it.

[Cletus.D.Yokel]

Onion is a hard sell for a wearable scent...

Otherwise, I agree.
Around the house it smells great.

The main problem here is what is sometimes referred to as "Financialism."

I asked Grok:

Several interconnected factors drive public companies' intense focus on quarterly profits, often leading to short-termism—a prioritization of immediate results over long-term sustainability. This behavior isn't mandated by law but emerges from market pressures, incentive structures, and reporting norms that collectively encourage decisions like cutting R&D spending, delaying investments, or engaging in stock buybacks to boost short-term metrics. Below, I'll outline the primary drivers based on economic analyses and expert insights.

### 1. **Investor and Shareholder Pressure** Institutional investors, hedge funds, and activist shareholders often prioritize short-term returns due to their own performance benchmarks, such as quarterly portfolio evaluations. This creates a cycle where companies feel compelled to meet or exceed earnings expectations to avoid stock price drops, proxy fights, or takeovers. For instance, a 2006 Duke University study found that 78% of executives would sacrifice long-term value for a short-term share price boost. Activist investors can exploit short-term volatility, pushing management toward immediate profit maximization rather than strategic investments. Social media and rapid information flow amplify this, as companies face swift criticism for missing quarterly targets, fueling a "vicious circle" of short-term emphasis.

### 2. **Executive Compensation and Incentives** CEO and executive pay is frequently tied to short-term metrics like earnings per share (EPS), stock price performance, or quarterly bonuses, aligning personal gains with immediate results. This can lead to "earnings management"—manipulating figures through cost cuts or financial engineering to hit benchmarks. Stock options with short vesting periods exacerbate this, as do pressures from nearing retirement or job insecurity. As one analysis notes, this agency problem—where managers prioritize their interests over the company's long-term health—contributes to underinvestment in innovation.

### 3. **Quarterly Reporting and Earnings Guidance** U.S. public companies must file quarterly reports (e.g., SEC Form 10-Q), which spotlight short-term performance and invite scrutiny from analysts and investors. Many also voluntarily provide earnings guidance, creating an "earnings game" where missing forecasts triggers stock sell-offs. While some argue this promotes transparency, critics say it drives artificial behaviors like deferring expenses or boosting buybacks to meet targets, at the expense of long-term planning. Proposals to shift to semi-annual reporting (e.g., floated by former President Trump) aim to reduce this, but evidence is mixed on its impact.

### 4. **Market and Structural Dynamics** Broader trends like high-frequency trading, short-term investor horizons, and economic uncertainty encourage a focus on immediate liquidity and returns. Structural shifts, such as hiring external CEOs (who may prioritize quick wins) and decentralizing R&D toward "development" over exploratory "research," further entrench short-termism. Post-pandemic, some companies shifted from market share growth to quarterly profit maximization, exploiting disruptions like supply chain issues for price hikes. This can hollow out firms, reducing innovation and productivity growth economy-wide. ### 5. **Cultural and Behavioral Factors** A "quarterly capitalism" mindset, influenced by economic theories like Milton Friedman's shareholder primacy, has normalized short-term gains. Behavioral biases, such as overconfidence in short-term forecasts or fear of missing benchmarks, compound this. As one executive put it, boards and investors demand constant growth, leading to decisions that "maximize next quarter's profit" even if it means forgoing future opportunities.

These factors create a self-reinforcing loop, where short-term success boosts stock prices and executive rewards but can undermine long-term resilience, such as by stifling R&D or employee development. However, some companies resist by attracting long-term investors, reforming incentives, or ceasing quarterly guidance, leading to better overall performance. Addressing this requires reforms like aligning duties between directors and shareholders or incentivizing long-term holdings.

I like the last line. Requiring executive compensation to be long-term rather than short-term would be a great start. But, as Scott Adams says, "Any system that can be corrupted will be corrupted."
